Chapter 55: The Special Six Pathways

The Fool Klein slowly looked around the table. Contrary to everyone’s expectations, he did not explain. Instead, he put away his sigh and asked with a smile,

“Where do you think the twenty-two Beyonder pathways come from?”

This was one of the three most fundamental questions in mysticism, and there had never been a generally accepted answer. Every school had its own theory, and none could convince the others.

The Hermit Cattleya considered briefly before answering,

“The essence of the world is knowledge. The essence of knowledge is number. Humans are numbers. The Beyonder characteristics of the twenty-two pathways are also numbers. All things are numbers, and they have been so since birth.”

What she gave was the theory of the Moses Ascetic Order, but that did not mean it was her own view.

“The seven major Churches all believe that Beyonder characteristics originated from the original Creator, who transformed into all things, including gods, humans, the sea, the land, and Beyonder characteristics,” The Star Leonard described simply. “Of course, this explanation is given only to deacons and above. Official Beyonders below Sequence 6 do not need to know that much.”

Then he glanced at The Moon Emlyn and said,

“The Life School of Thought believes that the world is divided into three layers: the material world, the spirit world, and the world of absolute rationality. Beyonder characteristics are projections of certain things from the world of absolute rationality into the material world and the spirit world. Therefore, characteristics are indestructible; they only recombine.”

From the current perspective, the absolute rationality world preached by the Life School of Thought may refer to something represented by that “river of fate”… The Fool Klein thought of Will Auceptin, yet he remained silent and did not interrupt the exchange between the Tarot Club members.

The Moon Emlyn looked back at The Star and said,

“As one of the rulers of the Second Epoch, we sanguine believe that Beyonder characteristics indeed came from the original Creator. Then, different characteristics accumulated, giving birth to the ancient gods, who then created different races.”

This was the sanguine’s explanation for the First Epoch. The Moon Emlyn himself already had a certain degree of doubt about it, because he had come into contact with many secrets during the Tarot Gatherings.

The Hanged Man Alger nodded slightly.

“Although there are many explanations for the origin of Beyonder characteristics, most point toward the original Creator. The orthodox Churches are like this, the Aurora Order is like this, and the City of Silver is also like this.”

“In other words, it is a relatively consistent understanding that Beyonder characteristics came from the original Creator?” Justice Audrey asked thoughtfully.

The Psychology Alchemists primarily studied the mind world and the sea of collective subconsciousness. They lacked a complete theoretical explanation for the origin of Beyonder characteristics.

“That is more or less the case.” The Hanged Man Alger did not conceal his own view.

At that moment, The Fool Klein spoke with a hint of a sigh.

“Not all of them.”

He did not give a long discourse, but merely offered a relatively vague answer.

Not all… Does Mr. Fool mean that Beyonder characteristics did indeed originate from the original Creator, but not all of them, and that a small portion are exceptions? Is this the reason the Planter and Moon pathways are special? The Hanged Man Alger instantly thought of many things, grasping the essence of the problem at once.

Since the matter had nothing to do with her, The Magician Fors had been listening leisurely from the side. Now, feeling rather curious, she asked,

“Honorable Mr. Fool, your meaning seems to be that the vast majority of Beyonder characteristics came from the original Creator, but the Planter and Moon pathways are exceptions. Then where did they come…
